I took 32.1 points on this last trade, felt like writing a bit about it. (I've been trading directly on MT4 lately, testing different broker, so different chart again. There's no volume here, I've been doing without it lately, my general trading ...

Thought I'd drag this post into here. It was a reply to someone, but it's as good a trade walkthrough as any other. I don't usually use fibs to look for targets and zones, I do at times and it's always nice when they line up with order zones I'm ...

I know it looks a bit crazy considering how fast it moves down then straight back up again but it was a perfect retrace to a typical 61.8% zone .. if the down move was happening over a few hours of grind and NFP brought us back up it would look a ...

Maybe they have a trader's almanac equivalent? If I could trade hindsight like some of these people seem to I'd be very rich.

Posting an update (a bit late, it's moved higher since I took this screenshot, but this is not a trade call or something, just an updated chart) The hard drop came, screwed all the bulls that came in after first screwing the bears, it was a great ...

Has anyone been having this "problem" with their broker? Look at all the wicks, just about every minute bar in the last few hours has been spiking up and down a couple pips 10 or so times a minute. This time of night my broker normally doesn't move ...

Nothing special or in-depth, just wanted to post an updated chart I took last night. The market trap I outlined played out nicely, we have since taken out the ECB rate cut day "highs" at 1.3545~ and we hit a "drop base drop" from the move down off ...

Awww F*** it, shoulda-woulda-coulda that trade from 1.3415 huh? That was a nice easy 30 pips (so far) I missed out on Ok so we popped earlier than expected, now I see if I can either get on board a retrace, or this shows signs that the upmove is ...

So I woke up randomly in the middle of the night, looked at the chart and saw this .. what I saw was the high from earlier in the day being tested on low volume, a nice 15minute bar poking up and rejecting, and the start of the move down, so I ...

Pretty standard trade analysis .. and a nice NFP trap result it seems. Sunday was a push down, looked rather like a nice trap, a bit of a zone was formed and then breached Monday morning. There was not much volume monday, but the residual energy, ...

Post NFP .. Well, I wasn't crazy enough it seems .. 204K, I had 180K. At least I got the direction right though, it was a big "FU" to the analysts, much like the rate cut. Here are the 2 trades I took, which I'll post a minute chart breakdown of, ...

A little NFP chart look .. A) We obviously had the massive drop from ECB, and then the second during Draghi's talk but this was a hard push down into previous levels (look back and you'll see we've filled a liquidity gap, and a "chart gap" down at ...

Wanted to write what my analysis leading up to the ECB decision was for future reference. FYI: Sadly my sell order slipped and wasn't filled so despite what I had been planning I didn't make the money I wanted from it! During the drop I was ...

Figured I'd post an update chart, shows the area I exited first and second portions, where I am looking for third and more to come in. It's currently in an area of contention. It seems to have pushed back above so I don't know whether that means ...

So let's try a long from here, previous lows tested and possible rejection, I like this zone for buys, but the bounce up may be small .. this push down was hard and fast, but then that does encourage everyone to try and jump on board and we've hit ...

So far, so good. Crawled up, a bit of volatility and then a drop down, take out trailing stops and draw in more sells, before the oops. We've hit the old T3 I set on Friday, so now I look to see how it's going to react to this area and the highs, ...

So my current theory holds that we are in a buy zone here, looking to the left of chart you can see it pretty clearly, I don't know if our current low will hold or we'll pop lower etc., but I think it will. If it doesn't I'll look at what happens ...

Let's try a long from 1.29997, we're at a pretty good spot having just taken out the orders to the left of us, with signs of buying coming in and not making a completely new low - if that line in the sand was where this 2 week downtrend ends, we ...

Let's short this again at 1.30335, it's beginning to look to me like those with the money are selling up here, all the same reasoning as before basically but additional it waved around a bit, brought in early shorts in the morning, made a new high ...

I entered a short 1.30312, wasn't sure to post it so SS is late but I haven't posted a trade for a while so might as well. this one is pretty simple, a tight stop on incase the supply doesn't contain quite the slow Asian up trend. It's a basic ...
